Maoshan Taoist priest

Chapter 31 Banquet (7)
After asking for some information about the construction workers at that time, Liang Luo stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Chen Shaoxian gave each of them a bodyguard.

Liang Luo also hopes that Chen Shaoxian will live in Hong Kong for a few days, and he will definitely treat Chen Shaoxian well, and has already expressed Chen Shaoxian's life-saving grace.Other policemen also asked Chen Shaoxian to stay longer, and they left Zhuo's house after Chen Shaoxian agreed.

Seeing Chen Shaoxian's tired face, Zhuo's father hurriedly asked someone to prepare the car.

Everyone came to the hotel under the Zhuo family and arranged a luxury suite for Chen Shaoxian.

Chen Shaoxian was not polite, he walked into the room and fell into a deep sleep, even Zheng Ruirui didn't bother to ask him to have dinner.

The others also understood, knowing that Chen Shaoxian was really tired, so they didn't bother, but told the waiter to take good care of the guests in this room.

———————————————————————————————————

Chen Shaoxian opened his eyes and looked at the sky, it should be noon. After getting up, he stretched comfortably, feeling a little hungry.After washing up, I walked out of the room, looking for something to eat to fill my stomach.

Seeing Chen Shaoxian coming out of the room, the waiter hurried over, invited Chen Shaoxian to a luxurious private room, served some fruit snacks for Chen Shaoxian, and then the waiter ran to inform his boss.

After a while, the Zhuo family, Zheng Lei brothers and sisters, and the Zhang brothers entered the private room one after another, but they stayed there as soon as they entered the private room.

The fruit snacks served by the waiter were to make Chen Shaoxian eat a little bit, or it was purely out of politeness, but who would have thought that after walking two steps, Chen Shaoxian was already so hungry that he grabbed the fruit on the table. Stuff it in your mouth.

It was also to blame that the waiter was so focused on informing Zhuo's family that he forgot to serve Chen Shaoxian some tea or other drinks.

Chen Shaoxian's throat was very dry just after waking up, and the snacks he picked up were very soft, and he swallowed them without chewing much, which happened to get stuck in his throat.

Just when other people came in at this time, they watched Chen Shaoxian staring, covering his throat and looking for things all over the room, and suddenly ran to the fish tank in the corner of the room.

Zheng Lei hurriedly stopped Chen Shaoxian, asked for a glass of water and handed it over.

Chen Shaoxian took the water and poured it in directly. He felt a grunt in his throat, took a breath, and looked at the others with a flushed face.

Zheng Ruirui asked with concern: "Shaoxian, are you feeling better?"

Chen Shaoxian nodded with a blushing face, thinking to himself: "Damn, shame on Hong Kong."

Seeing that Chen Shaoxian was fine, the others laughed out loud.

After sitting down, Zhuo's father thanked Chen Shaoxian again, and took out a check of 1000 million and handed it over to Chen Shaoxian.

Chen Shaoxian didn't refuse and just put it away.

Zhuo's father knew that Chen Shaoxian must be starving, so he hurriedly ordered someone to serve the food.During the meeting, Zhuo's father told Chen Shaoxian that Liang Luo sent a car to take away the coffin this morning, and Tuo Zhuo's father told that Liang Luo would invite Chen Shaoxian to dinner tomorrow night.

After eating, just as Chen Shaoxian returned to his room, he heard someone knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Zhang Xinyi and his brothers standing outside the door with some hesitation.

Chen Shaoxian let the two into the house and asked them why they came.

It turned out that the two of them had many questions in their hearts after what happened yesterday, so they came here to ask Chen Shaoxian for advice, but they didn't know if Chen Shaoxian would explain it to them.

After hearing this, Chen Shaoxian smiled, and said to the two of them: "If it were me, I would ask the question too. In fact, I can also guess that you will come."

Zhang Xinyi and Zhang Xinyi asked, "Chen Shaoxian, we only recognized snakes, foxes, and yellow spirits yesterday, but we didn't know what the others were."

"Apart from the Santang Immortals, some of the remaining ones are lonely souls that cannot be reborn, and the other part are wild ghosts that died violently. They reside on the bodies of different things, and the forms they transform are only these things. Yesterday's For these things, this is a very rare opportunity, they have to leave the realm of animals and hungry ghosts, so even if you are desperate, you have to give it a try." Chen Shaoxian explained.

Zhang Xinming couldn't help asking: "How can these monsters cultivate so powerfully that they can actually leave their bodies."

Chen Shaoxian did not directly answer Zhang Xinming's question, but said: "Everything in the world has a spirit, it depends on how to cultivate it. They are very weak, but they can sense the spirit of heaven and earth, but these things are not what you said. They are so tyrannical, because their own bodies are their boundaries. Generally speaking, they can only confuse people, but they cannot use their bodies to directly cause harm to people. Yesterday’s level was at most bruising people, but it can replace the pair The souls of the mother and child, so as to take their place in their birth."

"The reason why spirits and monsters like to harm people is because they want to get rid of the animal realm. After they confuse people, they create illusions and accidents. After people die, they replace their souls to escape from the realm, and these The victim’s soul becomes a lonely ghost, and they must use this method to reincarnate, which creates a vicious circle. But these two types of reincarnation will carry the karma of the previous life and are destined to suffer for a lifetime.”

"But yesterday's situation was very special. They could feel that they didn't need to take away their own karma after being reincarnated, so they worked desperately to release all their energy to achieve this effect. For them It can only be said that it can only succeed but not fail, and failure means returning to dust and never being reborn. I guess the surroundings of that house are all the corpses of these things."

"Mr. Chen, is what you taught us yesterday effective against other evil spirits?" Zhang Xinyi asked with concern.

Chen Shaoxian shook his head and said: "There are no absolutes in everything. The method I taught you yesterday is good for dealing with spirits and other evil spirits, but it is not very effective for dealing with zombies and other evil spirits with entities. It is not good for dealing with such things." Slashing with a knife, chopping with an axe, burning, etc. And there are half-physical, half-spiritual creatures like World Spirits and Nightmare, so use everything."

"In fact, the main thing is time. Once this kind of thing rushes and slams, you can't spare a hand to deal with them, you can only run away. And most of these things can't get close to you. Once the slightest infection is slight, it will hurt a little bit of vitality. "

Zhang Xinyi asked again: "Mr. Chen, how can I cultivate my own essence to communicate with the world?"

Chen Shaoxian looked at Zhang Xinyi, and was silent for a long time before speaking "Tao".

Chen Shaoxian, who was silent for a while, said: "You are wrong. It is not the communication between heaven and earth, but the way of sensing heaven and earth. What is the way of heaven and earth is the way of heaven, the way of things, and the way of ghosts. And we are the way of things, the way of all things. way."

"What is Tao, but it is hard to explain. Just like birth, old age, sickness and death is Tao, eating and drinking water is Tao, sunrise and sunset are also Tao, this is a law, the law of the way of heaven and earth. We can only sense and explore but cannot communicate .Because the way of heaven and earth is not a thing, but a law or law."

"The way of heaven and earth exists in all things, so we call it essence, which belongs to the qi of heaven and earth. We use it to sense the way of heaven and earth."

"The attributes of all things are different, so the Tao is also different. But all things have essence, which can sense the changes between heaven and earth."

"But the way of humanity is not. The way of human beings lies in their own essence, which is also called righteousness and arrogance. The purest qi between heaven and earth, its function is not to sense but to protect, to guard the rules between heaven and earth. Therefore, people are far from the way of heaven. The closest creature, this is why other creatures would rather violate the way of heaven to harm people, but also break away from their own way and become a human being. Because the way of humanity can override the way of all things."

"But the way of heaven is the most fair. Although human beings are "the best in the world", they are not as good as other creatures in sensing the world. Just like when natural disasters come, other creatures will sense them in advance when earthquakes and tsunamis come, but humans cannot. Because human beings The Tao is different from them."

"So whether monks, Taoists or lay people are cultivating their own essence, they also have to sense the way of heaven and earth to avoid disaster."

"The duty of man is to protect the way of heaven and earth, which is what is called exorcising demons and defending the way. But a person's own righteousness is limited. When manpower cannot reach it, he must rely on the way of heaven and earth, that is, the spirit of heaven and earth. Remember it is Borrowing is not asking for and controlling, it must be repaid after borrowing.”

Speaking of which, Chen Shaoxian suddenly thought of those seniors with great abilities that his old man said, although they could temporarily control the way of heaven and earth and spy on the secrets of heaven, they were all condemned by heaven in the end, and none of them had a good death.Although Chen Shaoxian respected these seniors, he did not envy them.

So he sighed and continued: "How to pay back, people cannot use their own qi to make up for the qi of heaven and earth, but they can do something in line with the way of heaven."

"At the beginning of human beings, human nature is inherently good, and human beings obey the way of heaven. We can do good deeds and use these good deeds to make up for the way of heaven and earth we borrowed. Because the way of heaven is inherently good."

Hearing these words from Chen Shaoxian, the Zhang brothers were dumbfounded.

Zhang Xinyi stammered and asked, "Mr. Chen, how can I improve my energy?"

Chen Shaoxian scratched his head and said: "It's hard to explain, because there are too many unknown things, I can only make an analogy. The human body is like a chemical reaction, just like the neutralization of acid and alkali. Once the two substances are more or less, the human body will People will get sick. But people need the qi of the five grains to cultivate themselves, and it is inevitable that there will be abnormal times, so they need some medicines to adjust them to normal."

"The reason why people get sick is that after people ingest the qi of five grains, they will generate a kind of hostility, which will damage their own essence. The more they eat, the more hostility will accumulate. Some People who cultivate health and cultivate Tao choose bigu in order not to damage their own energy, although this method is simple but passive, I don’t agree with it.”

"Because things are relative. The stronger a person's own energy is, the less hostile energy he will have, and the healthier he will be. Essence energy can be nourished and strengthened with the energy of heaven and earth, and then it can be used by oneself to do some good deeds. The spirit of heaven and earth is lost. Although it seems troublesome, it is once and for all."

Chen Shaoxian had an idea and thought of something again, so he went on to say: "I am talking about these so-called Taoist formulas and formulas, and I also use acid-base neutralization as an example. Those evil spirits are like alkalis, and the Taoist formulas we use It is like acid, which will neutralize them into nothingness and return to heaven and earth. It can also be said to be yin and yang, because everything belongs to yin and yang in heaven and earth, but we don’t know the reason for it.”

"These methods are summed up by predecessors and supplemented by later generations. They can only be explored but not peeped."

The Zhang brothers heard that Chen Shaoxian was only talking about some principles, but they didn't say how to do it. They knew that it was not that Chen Shaoxian cherished himself, but that these things needed to be understood by themselves.

At this time, the waiter called the door and invited the three of them to dinner.

The three chatted for the whole afternoon unknowingly. Although Chen Shaoxian told them a lot, Zhang Xinyi and his brother still felt that there was more to say.

During the meal, Chen Shaoxian whispered to Zheng Lei: "You are lucky." Zheng Lei was puzzled.

Chen Shaoxian explained: "At first I thought that the woman would be your daughter in the next life with the help of you two. You two have done good deeds and reaped good causes, and you will have good results. But I didn't expect that the woman is nine years old in this life. Have you ever heard the story of the nine-son ghost mother?" Zheng Lei shook his head.

Chen Shaoxian told Zheng Lei: "It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that the nine-son ghost mother is also called Jiupanpo, who specializes in cannibalism. Later, the Buddha hid a child of the nine-son ghost mother, and the ghost mother was very anxious. When looking for the whereabouts of her beloved son, the Buddha appeared in front of her holding the child, and told her that losing her child would make her feel so heartbroken, and the ghost mother ate so many children, those parents who lost their children What do you think? After listening to the Buddha's lecture, the Nine Sons Ghost Mother became greatly enlightened, and from then on she threw herself under the Buddha's seat and became Anzi Guanyin."

Zheng Lei asked after listening, "What does this have to do with me?"

Chen Shaoxian looked at Zheng Lei helplessly and said: "This means that you are a father and a daughter. To her, you are like a Buddha. In the future, she will be filial to you in every possible way. But to you, after having this daughter, you Everything will go well. And you don't have to worry about her future, you just need to do a good job as a father. In addition, I don't want you to have any resistance in your heart, because this is a good thing." After finishing speaking, looking at Zheng Lei, my heart Thinking: "Even your son-in-law and grandson have been arranged, but you really don't need to worry about it. It's really easy to raise this daughter."

In fact, Zheng Lei was really conflicted in his heart, but after listening to Chen Shaoxian's words, he figured it out.Looking at Chen Shaoxian, he nodded heavily.

Seeing Zheng Lei like this, Chen Shaoxian felt relieved.

After dinner, Zheng Lei said that he would take Chen Shaoxian to see the night view of Hong Kong.Chen Shaoxian also came to Hong Kong for the first time, so he nodded in agreement.Meet at the entrance of the hotel in 10 minutes after an appointment.

Chen Shaoxian went back to his room and changed his clothes. When he came to the door of the hotel, he saw Zheng Lei, brother and sister and Zhuo Junfan waiting there.

Zheng Ruirui, who used to be very beautiful, is dressed as pure and pleasant as the girl next door today. Maybe she just finished bathing, standing there like a lotus springing out of water, full of youthful breath.

And Zhuo Junfan's clothes have always been very hot, and today is no exception, a tight suit outlines a beautiful curve, like a group of delicate roses.

All the people who came in and out of the hotel were attracted by the two girls at the door, and they turned their heads to visit frequently. One person even bumped into the pillar because of this, knelt down and rubbed for a long time, but his eyes never left the two girls.

Chen Shaoxian walked up to the three of them and asked, "It's just us, aren't they going?"

The other three gave Chen Shaoxian a blank look, especially Zheng Ruirui snorted angrily and turned to get in the car.

Chen Shaoxian scratched his head and followed the three into the car.

After a while, the car drove to a bustling street, and the street was very lively with people coming and going.

After several people got out of the car, Zhuo Junfan introduced to Chen Shaoxian that this is Temple Street, and it is also the most traditional street with the most local characteristics in Hong Kong.

Zhuo Junfan introduced the terroir on both sides to Chen Shaoxian while walking, suddenly felt that someone pulled him, turned his head and saw Zheng Lei winking at him, so he stopped talking and looked at Zheng Lei.

Zheng Lei said to Chen Shaoxian with a playful smile: "Brother, brother has something to do with your sister-in-law. My sister will leave it to you first."

Seeing Zheng Lei's virtue, Chen Shaoxian looked at Zheng Lei with disdain and said, "Hurry up and take it easy."

This situation made Zhuo Junfan and Zheng Ruirui blushed, and they all looked at Zheng Lei with hatred.

In fact, they really misunderstood Zheng Lei. Zheng Lei's original intention was to let Chen Shaoxian and Zheng Ruirui get along alone.But this guy's expression is too that, and Zheng Lei has always been a playboy in Chen Shaoxian's heart, so Chen Shaoxian misunderstood him, and Zheng Ruirui and Zhuo Junfan misunderstood Zheng Lei after listening to Chen Shaoxian's words.

After Zheng Lei finished speaking, he took Zhuo Junfan's hand and left, but Chen Shaoxian and Zheng Ruirui saw that Zhuo Junfan's little hand had been pinching Zheng Lei's waist and turning around, and Zheng Lei's walking was also a little distorted, obviously Zhuo Junfan did not strike lightly.

Chen Shaoxian and Zheng Ruirui were left, Chen Shaoxian looked at the snacks on both sides and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Zheng Ruirui burst into laughter, and then said angrily: "We just finished our meal."

Chen Shaoxian scratched his head and didn't speak, just like that, the two started shopping aimlessly.Chen Shaoxian suddenly said, "Let's find a place to sit."

Zheng Ruirui nodded and did not speak.

The two casually found a tea restaurant on the street and walked in.Although the scale of the tea restaurant is very large, there are quite a few people eating. Obviously, the business is very good.

After the two walked in, the beautiful Zheng Ruirui attracted the attention of many people, so that there was a joint reaction, causing all the people eating in the restaurant to look at the two of them, and of course more eyes were still on Zheng Ruirui.

Zheng Ruirui, who was used to it, seemed very generous.And Chen Shaoxian looked around for empty seats, ignoring these gazes.

It was hard to find an empty table.After the two sat down, a waiter came over and handed over the recipe and asked them what they wanted to order.

Chen Shaoxian asked Zheng Ruirui, Zheng Ruirui just ordered a glass of juice, and Chen Shaoxian made up his mind about the rest.

Chen Shaoxian was a little dazed looking at the recipe, there were all kinds of things on it, many of which Chen Shaoxian had never seen before, and even Chen Shaoxian who had just finished eating regretted it a bit.

After looking at it for a while, I ordered banana cake, spicy fish ball, fish meat siu mai king, bowl of wings, tofu flower, and egg powder.

Looking at Chen Shaoxian who was still flipping through the recipes, the waiter next to him reminded him kindly: "Sir, I'm afraid the two of you ordered can't eat it."

Chen Shaoxian thanked the waiter for his kindness and returned the recipe.

After a while, all the things Chen Shaoxian asked for came up, and the waiter said to Chen Shaoxian before leaving: "Man, your girlfriend is so pretty." Chen Shaoxian scratched his head and didn't speak, while Zheng Ruirui looked at Chen Shaoxian with a blushing face.

Chen Shaoxian was a little unnatural when Zheng Ruirui looked at him, so he lowered his head and ate something on the table.

Seeing Chen Shaoxian's appearance, Zheng Ruirui was angry and laughed in her heart, and said in her heart: "You are such a pig, hum." Although Zheng Ruirui was already very full, but seeing Chen Shaoxian's appearance, she pouted and began to eat bitterly something on the table.

The two of them competed with the food on the table like this.

Chen Shaoxian suddenly remembered something, and said to Zheng Ruirui: "By the way, RMB is accepted here, and I don't have Hong Kong dollars with me."

Zheng Ruirui was also taken aback, touched the pocket on her clothes and said, "Ah, I don't have it on me, all the money is with my brother."

Chen Shaoxian called the waiter and asked briefly.The waiter said that this store only accepts Hong Kong dollars, but there is a store not far from the door to the right that specializes in currency exchange.

After thanking the waiter and asking Zheng Ruirui to wait for a while, Chen Shaoxian left the tea restaurant.

As soon as Chen Shaoxian left the tea restaurant, seven strangely dressed young people came in.

The owner of the tea restaurant saw a few people, walked over quickly, nodded and handed over a stack of money.Several people turned around and were about to leave when one of them saw Zheng Ruirui and pointed to the others.

When they saw Zheng Ruirui, their eyes lit up and they walked over.I didn't care what the owner of the tea restaurant said.
